Elizabeth Verwey guides people in business to become more effective in their space and time management so that they can take time to play - and most importantly - balance the two.

Things can change quickly in a small office, and it's difficult to find the focused time to research what's available. We will review the possibilities and inform you of your best options. A written report can follow our meeting. You may administer the plan yourself, or we can help.  

President,  Home Office Mentors

Elizabeth Verwey is a seasoned entrepreneur who helps small business owners manage their space and time more effectively so they can enjoy both life and work. Since establishing Home Office Mentors in 1997, she has helped hundreds of clients in the Greater Toronto Area to gain perspective on their challenges and priorities, and take concrete action to improve how they organize and operate their businesses day to day.

So many of her clients grew into small offices that Elizabeth now works with many teams in small office settings - to suggest meaningful change.

Corporations have their executive teams, boards of directors, consultants and staff.  Entrepreneurs too often have only one person to turn to: themselves. As market cycles continue to compress and accelerate, the challenges can become overwhelming.

Elizabeth steps in to change that situation. She has a mountain of ideas to share from her work with entrepreneurs in diverse industries, plus 20 years' experience in facilitating groups, and a proven record of innovative solutions. Through one-on-one consultations, monthly support groups, workshops and seminars, she helps people clarify their priorities, identify quick wins, map out action steps, and follow through on their plans.

In addition, she offers specialized services: facilitating office moves, brainstorming solutions, and showing business owners how to recharge their batteries without losing any momentum. Her tape, The Joy of Micro-Vacations, is a quick win for any user.

This warm and dynamic presenter has hands-on experience in retail management, education, charities and juggling work and family.  She has completed the Personnel and Industrial Relations Program at University of Toronto and the Life Skills Coaches Training Certificate at the YWCA.  She is a professional member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and is a member of the SOHO Advisory Committee for Enterprise Toronto.

If you're a home-based business, small business owner, or company with up to 50 employees - Office Mentors can help you free up the energy you need to move forward. For more information, call 416-463-1713.
